Chapter 46 Thunderbolt Method
"General Shi, don't worry about me, break out quickly. "
"Hurry up! If it's any later, the whole army will be wiped out."
Zhang Xutuo was like a trapped beast, hanging in the air, shouting non-stop.
Shi Jin led the Sui army to kneel on the ground with a snap.
"General Zhang, take care!"
Then there was a deafening cry in the dense forest. Shi Jin led the Sui army like crazy, swinging their swords and chopping, fighting with the rebel army.
Shi Jin led the Sui army, crying and killing, fighting and marching.
A large group of Sui troops fought hard to break out of the southern area of Dahai Temple.
Yu Cheng became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and he led his personal guards in hot pursuit.
Shi Jin headed south, winding his way along the winding forest path.
To the west is Dahai Temple, and the exit to the north has been blocked by Li Ai.
The east side was surrounded by soldiers from the Ji Camp led by Zhang Shan.
Shi Jin knew that if he wanted to break out, the only way was to leave the south empty.
He wiped away his tears and fled towards the south intersection.
The other three rebel armies gradually moved towards the south, gradually narrowing the encirclement.
As soon as Shi Jin came out of the dense forest, Shan Xiongxin's group of men blocked his way.
He drew his bow and shot an arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow flew like a swallow and hit Shan Xiongxin in the face.
Shan Xiongxin did not dare to delay and dodged to the side.
Shi Jin rode his horse forward, and heard the sound of whooshing…
The strings vibrate.
Li Ji saw it from a high hill and quickly ordered archers to shoot in all directions, with arrows flying like locusts.
A flying arrow pierced Shi Jin's back and went out through his chest.
In an instant, a stream of blood spurted out, his body swayed, and he fell off his horse.
Shan Xiongxin rode his horse at full speed and stabbed Shi Jin's head with a spear. With a dull thud, the head flew into the wetland in the dense forest.
When the Sui army saw their commander captured and their vanguard officer shot through the heart by an arrow, they fled in a panic, crying and wailing all the way.
Li Ji designed a plan to capture Zhang Xutuo, the commander of the Sui army, and the morale of the rebel army was immediately boosted.
In the Henan area, the government troops in counties and prefectures all lost their fighting spirit and stopped fighting.
In Henan, Shandong, Jianghuai, Fujian and Zhejiang, Bashu and other places, various rebel armies rose up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Li Ji urgently ordered Li Ai's troops to lead the rebel army to pursue the victory and gradually recover Xingyang County.
On this day, Li Ji sat in the government office of Xingyang County and held an emergency meeting.
He took a sip of honey tea and said loudly:
"The entire Xingyang County has been occupied by the rebels, and some things need to be planned early."
Li Ji glanced at the leaders with a dignified look and said loudly:
"The Battle of Xingyang dealt a heavy blow to the Sui army. The Sui government was weak and fragmented, and its governance was ineffective. Various rebel armies rose up one after another, and the trend of warlord separatism gradually took shape."
He said seriously: "Xingyang is just a tiny place. Our goal is to capture the Eastern Capital and establish our own power."
"But, at the moment, our strength is still very weak. We are not strong enough to argue with those warlords."
"My opinion is to go south and quickly join forces with Zhai Facao's troops to form a fist. This way, we can strike at dissidents more effectively."
Li Ji shouted, "Where is General Shan?"
Shan Xiongxin stepped forward and saluted, "I am here!"
"I order you to lead 3,000 troops southwards to lead the charge and clear the obstacles that are ahead. The army will be advancing southwards soon."
Shan Xiongxin knelt on one knee: "Yes, sir!"
He took the order and went out.
After Shan Xiongxin left, Li Ji smiled and said, "Li Ai, housekeeper Li, you have a big responsibility."
Li Ai nodded slightly, "I will listen to your instructions, my lord."
Li Ji said: "I have said it again and again, our team is definitely not a bandit-type team."
He went on to say: "No matter how cruel the means are, they are only used against corrupt officials and those scum who do all kinds of evil."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Our main task from now on is to fight the rich and help the poor, fight evil and eliminate traitors, fight the strong and help the weak."
Li Ai hurriedly asked: "My Lord, how do we deal with Zhang Xutuo?"
Li Ji leaned back slightly and took a sip of candied tea.
"He still refuses to admit defeat?"
Li Ai said hurriedly: "He regretted he underestimated the enemy."
Li Ji burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Sun Tzu said, 'All is fair in war.' You can't fight on impulse. Your strength is ten times that of the rebels. Why did you get defeated by me?"
Li Ai said hurriedly: "This may be because he has never lost a battle."
Li Ji nodded, "The butler's analysis is spot on. Even if the mountains don't move, the water will. Since ancient times, there has never been a general who always wins on the battlefield."
He put down the Ruyi in his hand and said slowly:
"Although General Zhang was defeated by me, he has such a character, which is still worth learning from."
Li Ji suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes and said in a stern tone:
"Serve him well. If he refuses to submit to me, Li Ji, then I will grant his wish and let him lead the troops in the underworld!"
Li Ji's expression suddenly softened and he put the teacup on the table.
He looked at the leaders and said slowly:
"Keep an eye on your own door and manage your own people. When you go back, you must be strict in your local management."
"Butler, follow me to the back garden of Xun Mansion. You all should go back to the camp!"
Li Ai knelt on her knees: "Yes!"
The leaders thanked him and left.
Li Ji walked towards the back garden with a group of personal soldiers.
The personal soldier Yu Cheng held a shining steel knife in his hand and never left his side.
Li Ai was walking in front, having already cleared away the pedestrians around him.
As soon as Li Ji entered the back door, he heard several screams.
“Ouch!”
"oh! "
"Let me go, you beasts!"
Li Ji was stunned and his expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, a maid with disheveled hair ran out from a kitchen, followed by two soldiers.
One soldier's trousers were still hanging below his knees, and one soldier's shirt buttons were all undone.
Li Ji shouted, "Your mother, what the hell is this?"
When the maid saw Li Ji and his group, she did not try to hide but fell to her knees and burst into tears.
"My lord, they are beasts!"
Li Ji was stunned. He said sternly:
"Yucheng, go and bring those two soldiers over here."
After a while, two soldiers with pale faces knelt in front of Li Ji.
Li Ji's face was as cold as frost, his eyes were filled with anger, and he scolded:
"What did you do to her?"
A soldier took a breath and stammered:
"No, no, nothing?"
Snapped!
Li Ji swung his hand and slapped him.
"Who is your mother trying to appease? If she didn't do anything, a little girl would cry and call you beasts."
Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Give each of them twenty military sticks! Let them learn their lesson."
The two bodyguards picked up the two soldiers who were so frightened that their legs could not move, and hurried out.
After a while, there was a pig-slaughtering howl outside the door.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Li Ji asked with a gentle look: "What's your name?"
The maid replied, "My name is Cuixiang, and I am the young lady's maid."
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.
He looked at the maid and said, "Go back and boil some water!"
After kneeling down to thank him, the maid stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Li Ji was about to take a step when "Ding Dong!"
The Time Tunnel Fate Changing System sent a reminder message: "One of your beauty cards is about to expire."
Li Ji laughed in his heart, the system is really humane, it seems that I don’t know which beautiful lady I will meet?
He muttered to himself, and walked towards the lady's room involuntarily...
